      we have universal healthcare!

      Barely…

      half my medical visits now are with private clinic because the public system has been so thoroughly gutted…

      “hey i wonder if this weird spot is cancer…”

      3 month wait to maybe see a public dermatologist… or pay to see a private clinic next week…

      I’m 100% in support of public healthcare, but i’m not going to gamble with my health…

      Unfortunately, this is what the politicians are banking on… people who have enough money using the shitty private option and then saying, “look how popular private clinics are!”

      And conservatives and liberals continually try to tear it down. Sad.

      As citizens of Canada we need to fight for our democratic rights!

        Mark Carney promised to protect Dentalcare and Pharmacare. Susan Holt must be pressured greatly to sign onto Pharmacare as her platform starts off with “supporting healthcare workers”

      At least three* members of the nominees as the direct result of an active mass-mailing campaign among that individual’s loyal and well-organized followers

      Including one of the DJs from a Winnipeg morning show at the time.

      Decades later, he still promotes himself as the “38th greatest Canadian”…

      There’s a couple names that need to be taken off that list. Frigging traitor Wayne Gretzky.
